Scott v. State

Scott v. State
Florida District Courts of Appeal · Decided May 17, 1983 · Baskin, Ferguson, Schwartz
431 So. 2d 314; 1983 Fla. App. LEXIS 20774 (Southern Reporter, Second Series)

Scott v. State

Opinion of the Court

PER CURIAM.

The judgment holding Scott in indirect contempt is reversed because the basic requirements of fair notice and opportunity to be heard were not observed below. Deter v. Deter, 353 So.2d 614 (Fla. 4th DCA 1977); In re S.L.T., 180 So.2d 374 (Fla. 2d DCA 1965).1

. The order amending the contempt judgment after the notice of appeal had been filed, which is itself under review in Case no. 82-256, falls both with the reversal of the primary judgment and because it was entered without jurisdiction. Ponzoli v. Hawkesworth, 390 So.2d 784 (Fla. 3d DCA 1980); Blum v. Blum, 382 So.2d 52 (Fla. 3d DCA 1980).
